Description

The The invention relates to a hinge for doors or windows, in particular for glass doors, after the Preamble of claim 1.

One generic hinge is especially for Glass or acrylic glass doors intended without a frame in which the hinge is directly attached to the glass or acrylic glass pane is attached.

To hold the hinge in certain positions, hinge bands are known with locking devices. From these positions (usually open or closed positions) these wristbands are only to be moved with an increased force. For example, is from the FR 2 408 711 a hinge is known in which a displaceable locking body which extends parallel offset to a hinge axis in a hinge part of the hinge, acts on a guide body with upwardly directed control surface. The guide body is fixedly arranged on this hinge part of the hinge, so that the locking position of the hinge can not vary.

A hinge with a locking device, the locking positions are vestellbar, is from the EP 0 599 255 A1 known. In this known hinge a rotational body is arranged around a hinge axis which hingedly connects two hinge parts together, having recesses. In these recesses engages a locking body, which is mounted in one of the two band parts. By means of a clamping mechanism in the form of an accessible from one side of the hinge strap clamping screw and a pressure body of the guide body is fixed, so that the locking positions of the hinge are adjustable as required.

In addition, the adjustment option for preferred positions used in this hinge (for example, an open position or closed position) is particularly unsuitable for small wristbands, as they have little building site to accommodate such a locking device.

One Another hinge, are set in the preferred positions can, is known from WO 2004/085778 A1. This known hinge has a hinge axis in which a locking body by means of elastic Elements in the radial direction, that is perpendicular to the axis of rotation supported the hinge axis. In a latching position of the locking body engages in a recess a, which is arranged in a sleeve arranged around the hinge axis. Also, this adjustment is unsuitable for a little small wristbands, because again too much building site is needed. In addition, the well-known Wristband only with raised To mount effort, in particular due to the described detent body.

Of the The invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a hinge, It is easy to build, inexpensive and has an adjustment mechanism for preferential positions which, in particular, also for a somewhat small hinge suitable.

These Task is according to the invention with a Articulated belt solved with the features of claim 1. Further features of the invention result from the further claims and the following Description.

The hinge according to the invention for doors or Windows, especially for Glass doors, has at least a first band part and at least a second one Band part on. The first band part and the second band part are hinged about a hinge axis having an axis of rotation with each other connected. Furthermore, a locking device is provided, which within the hinge is arranged. The locking device comprises at least a ratchet body and at least one latching recess. In a detent position (below Also called detent position) engages the locking body in the recess one. The detent position thus defines a preferential position, in the hinge is to be held (for example, an opening or closed position). In the hinge according to the invention are both the ratchet body as well as the locking recess arranged in the hinge axis.

The Invention has the advantage that the locking device, with the preferred positions (for example, an open or closed position) are adjustable, located in the hinge axis itself. This includes also that the latching body and / or the recess itself are part of the hinge axis. A Such training is particularly suitable for small wristbands, because only a small building space needed becomes. Furthermore allows the invention is a cheap and easy manufacture and assembly.

The 1 to 11 show an embodiment in the form of a hinge 1 , which is designed as a so-called glass-glass hinge. It serves the hinged connection of two glass modules, namely a glass wall and a glass door. It is already expressly pointed out that the invention is not limited to such wristbands. Rather, the invention can also be implemented on other hinge bands, for example on so-called glass-wall hinge bands, in which a glass door is hinged to a wall.

The 1 to 3 show the hinge 1 which is a first band part 2 and a second band part 3 having. The first band part 2 is with opposite clamping parts 4 and 5 between which a glass sheet (not shown) by means of screws 8th is trapped. In order not to damage the glass, have the mutually facing surfaces of the clamping parts 4 and 5 pad 9 on, which are preferably made of rubber or plastic. Also the second band part 3 has two clamping parts 6 and 7 on, which are arranged opposite each other. Between the clamping parts 6 and 7 is a glass door (not shown) by means of screws 8th jammed. In order not to damage the glass door, have the mutually facing surfaces of the clamping parts 6 and 7 also upholstery 9 on, which are preferably made of rubber or plastic.

The first band part 2 has two bolt receptacles 10 and 11 on, each on an outside of the band part 2 are arranged. The band part 3 has a center bolt recording 12 on, which engages in the intermediate space, of the two bolt holders 10 and 11 of the band part 2 is formed. In the studs 10 . 11 and 12 a multi-part joint axis is added, which is described in more detail below.

The hinge axis has a first hinge axis element 13 on that in the stud holder 10 of the first band part 2 is arranged. The first hinge axis element 13 is in the 4 to 6 shown in more detail. The first hinge axis element 13 is cylindrical in shape and has at its outer periphery a thread 14 on. By means of the thread 14 becomes the first hinge axis element 13 in an opening of the bolt receptacle 10 arranged, which has a corresponding mating thread.

On its lower side, the first hinge axis element 13 a recording 15 for receiving a detent body 18 on (cf. 2 ), by Stegen 16 and 17 is limited. The ratchet body 18 is formed in this embodiment as a cylindrical body. In particular, this is a steel pin.

The first hinge axis element 13 is further provided with a central bore in which a spring 22 (see. 2 ) is arranged. The feather 22 lies on the detent body 18 on.

On its upper side, the first hinge axis element 13 in an opening an internal thread 20 on, that for receiving a grub screw 21 (see. 2 ) is provided. Between the grub screw 21 and the spring 22 is a spring plate 23 arranged in detail in the 10 and 11 is shown. The spring plate 23 has a spring pin 24 on, in one end of the spring 22 intervenes. At the spring pin 24 is a plate element 25 arranged at the grub screw 21 is applied. In that sense, the spring is supported 22 with one of its ends on the catch body 18 and with the other end on the spring plate 23 and thus on the grub screw 21 from.

The hinge axis also has a second hinge axis element 26 on which in the 2 such as 7 to 9 is shown. The second hinge axis element 26 is with a cylindrical pin 27 provided on which a headboard 28 is arranged. The headboard 28 has mutually perpendicular recessed recesses 29 and 30 on that in the headboard 28 V-shaped were introduced. The pencil 27 of the second hinge axis element 26 is in the bolt receptacle 11 of the first band part 2 as well as the bolt holder 12 of the second band part 3 added. The bolt holder 11 is open only on one side and therefore has no through hole. The pencil 27 of the second hinge axis element 26 is thus safe in the bolt holder 11 guided.

Again 2 it can be seen, are the first and the second hinge axis element 13 respectively. 26 arranged along the axis of rotation of the hinge axis. Furthermore, the locking body 18 movably arranged along the axis of rotation. The engagement of the detent body 18 in the recess 29 respectively. 30 takes place due to a movement of the detent body 18 along the axis of rotation.

The first hinge axis element 13 is in the bolt receptacle 10 by means of a grub screw 32 determined so that it is in terms of bolt reception 10 no relative movement can take place (cf. 1 ). It is thus firm (but again releasable) with the bolt holder 10 connected. The same applies to the second hinge axis element 26 , This is about a grub screw 33 with the bolt holder 12 of the band part 3 firmly (but again releasably) connected (vgl. 1 and 2 ). For a good deadlock is achieved, the pin 27 of the second hinge axis element 26 a corrugation 31 on, on the grub screw 33 is pressed.

The following will now be explained, as in the described hinge 1 Preferred positions, namely an open position and a closed position can be adjusted. By loosening the grub screw 32 and or 33 can the two band parts 2 and 3 be moved relative to each other by pivoting without the ratchet body 18 from the recess 29 respectively. 30 is brought. The parts of the joint axis rotate accordingly. The band parts 2 and 3 are pivoted to the desired position in which the hinge 1 the closed position occupies. In this closed position, the locking body engages 18 in the recess 29 one. Because the recess 30 practically offset by 90 ° to the recess 29 is arranged and defines a further detent position is by the position of the recess 30 automatically also an opening position of the hinge 1 Are defined. By tightening the grub screw 32 respectively. 33 or tighten both setscrew 32 and 33 Thus, the locking positions and thus the preferred positions are determined.

In operation, by pivoting the band part 3 about the hinge axis, ie by pivoting the glass door from the closed position, the first hinge axis element 13 the catch body 18 who is in through the footbridges 16 and 17 limited admission 15 is located, take away. He is therefore out of the recess 29 away. As soon as the glass door has reached the open position, the catch body snaps 18 in the recess 30 a, which defines the opening position.

The feather 22 ensures that the locking body 18 always with sufficient force in the recesses 29 and 30 is pressed. Due to the grub screw 21 this force is adjustable. The more the grub screw 21 in the direction of the detent body 18 is screwed, the more the spring 22 pressed together. In this respect, the pressure or the force on the catch body also increases 18 , Thus, it is possible to determine the force that must be applied so that the locking positions are left. Thus, it is possible to complicate or facilitate the opening and closing of a glass door. Furthermore, it is also possible, thereby wear phenomena of the spring 22 counteract.

The invention has the advantage that the locking device with which the preferred positions (Öff nungs- and closed position) are adjustable, located in the hinge axis itself. Such a design is particularly suitable for small wristbands, since only a small building site is needed. Furthermore, the invention enables a low-cost and simple production and assembly.
